Eclectic Hatha Yoga with Vinyasa flow is the style of Yoga you will experience when practicing with me. Through physical alignment‚ not only is safety placed first‚ but the body can then guide the Energy for healing of your body. With a sweet sense of humor and a Light Heart‚ the physical postures(asanas) of Yoga hold invaluable benefits from creating more flexibility and strength‚ to specifics‚ such as preventing migraines‚ building bone density‚ and alleviating back pain.

Through the breath work (pranayama)‚ you can deepen your breath
and learn ways to create ‘heat’ or ‘fire’ in the body and
ways of how to calm and create peace within. During practice of the poses, you build a sense of awareness and focus.
It becomes a moving meditation (one-pointed aware mind) which develops your ability to handle difficult situations in life‚
multi task better when you must‚ and relieve stress! Your over-all deeper awareness that Yoga Asana Practice has to offer
you builds trust and understanding of the physical body and a deeper love for not only your capabilities‚ but also for what
lies underneath the skins surface! Your Inner Light and Radiance will begin to be noticed by others! Let Your Light Shine!

During practice of the poses, you build a sense of awareness and focus...
which develops your ability to handle difficult situations in life‚ multi task
better when you must‚ and relieve stress!
